The long waited TV adaptation of the novel stars Michael Sheen as Aziraphale, a somewhat fussy angel and David Tennant as Crowley, a fast-living demon who are not too happy about the upcoming battle at the end of the world.

The showrunner and writer for this 6-part series is Neil Gaiman who has recently been working on American Gods. Doctor Who fans will recognise the director, Douglas Mackinnon from Doctor Who (Listen, The Sontaran Stratagen/The Poison Spy and more) as well as Outlander and Sherlock.

So watch out around London. If you see a flaming black 1926 Bentley being driven by a sharply-dressed demon or if the owner of that bookstore in Soho won’t sell you that book you’ve been looking for you might just have stumbled into the Good Omens set.
